The History Of Photography For Starting Panoramic Photographers

By Richard Howard


The beginnings of photographs is pretty interesting. Since the beginning of time, man has been fascinated with the idea of image capture. The thought of getting a mirror in surfaces like mirrors as seen as a luxury for most nobles as having mirrors was rare and the process of making them was a laborious process done at time.

The 19th century showed the idea of having cameras to take photos and place them in certain frames or stills. Being invented during the early 19th century, cameras became a popular thing amongst citizens and panoramic photographers alike. The popularity would eventually be enough for it to spread towards the entire world, leading it to be developed further.

An early type was developed during the advent of 1890s. The prototypes that were built back then used a type of glass to develop the pictures so it would not fade way when its hit by light. Since films were introduced much later in time, glass plates were what began it all. When films were developed, it was not favored due to how fragile it was compared to glass plates in that time.

As such when film was introduced, it was not so popular with professionals photographers. As the they prefer the superior stability of glass compared to film. The use of plates for such applications in field of sciences such as astrophtography, that continued into the 1990s. It is also used in holography that has persisted towards the late 2010s.

The years go buy and the film was invented. In its creation during the 20th era, the item has overtaken glass plates as the dominant way of developing pictures. But the coming of modern times came and saw the rise of digital cameras as a preferred use for photographers due to how much film cost and how fast they run out. Although it is still popular among professionals who prefer the style of film.

The first colors that photos had were not colors at all but monochrome. More commonly known as black and white to most people, black and white had persisted well into the 70s due to how much a colored camera could cost in those days. Now color is that norm but same with film, many love black and white for how classical and nostalgic it looks.

First explored in during 1840s, color was experimented on and required extremely long to develop. The pictures could not be fixed and it prevented color from quickly fading while it is exposed to light. The first permanent color version was taken on 1861 in Scotland. This advancement eventually became the testbed to digital photography coming into 21st era.

During the early 80s, the first digitally taken picture and camera was introduced for public use. The digital imagery began to replace film as digital cameras had unlimited shots and was not expensive to get more. Since then, digital photography has became the mainstream method of taking photographs of people and it has not let go since.

Cameras have come a long way. They have had changed peoples lives forever with the many contributions that cameras had made. A very good one is the use eventually transferred to moving pictures that is now known as movies.
